Monday morning and feeling well,

It was two weeks ago today that I had to go into the Doc's office. I do so wish I had asked for a phone consultation but when the nurse said , " The Doc wants to see you Monday", I of course   felt it was something so important , such as death is emminent, but no, just a change of meds.  So I walk into a packed waiting room full of very sick people , flu season. One very loud mother with four very sick and noisy boisterous children terrorisd the room. A poor elderly old fellow sitting in the corner with oxygen finally gave out and yelled at the noisy mother to keep her kids away from him or he would kill them. Loud mouth mother did not gather her children up but had to call the police. Oh what drama, nurses calmed the old man while mom left the noisy kids in the waiting room so she could go outside and smoke a cigarette. I of course caught the flu and can't help but think that many of the fragile looking elderly folks did too after her kids coughed, sneezed, wiped runny noses on hands and touched everything. Sigh

When your sick the cold is painfully cold so it was really wonderful to go out in the nippy weather yesterday and find I could deal with it. Good to be alive.

On the counter I have three baskets of 6 eggs each, blue, green, rosey brown, cream and white, ready to be dropped off at the food bank. My industrious hens are keeping me well supplied with beautiful eggs.

Sage and Feather think I have abandoned them as I have spent little time with them these past two weeks. Sage actually turned and kicked at the fence this morning when I fed. She doesn't like being ignored.

I look in my mirror and see a body getting smaller. My new eating program is working, I'm feeling good and maybe I'll be back in a size 12 before I know it. Too many buffets, oh my , too many. No more.

Last time i went to the doctor the bad kids running around had pinkeye. I stood in a corner afraid to touch anything.
Glad you're feeling well and happy to see you back.
